'Dr' Robert Murray-Smith

 

I cannot make my mind up about this guy credentials, I do know he annoys me when I listen to him.

 

Had a few companies

There are a lot of Dr Murry-Smith.

If all these devices where so great, and have been around for a while, why cannot I buy a 50 year battery in Tesco?

Without watching the video, don't nuclear batteries have an incredibly low power output? I'm sure I recall reading that some deep space probes use something like this.

Presumably also not rechargeable, unless they come with a small fission reactor.

Maybe they use a fast breeder reactor.

@Pocster may know more.  I am sure he mentioned fertile material and transuranics in the same breath recently.
